Description This map shows a fantasy version of Europe, in the medieval era ( which lasted for a few thousand years ).

During this long period of existence, despite many wars between the various nations, elves and dwarves, the borders of these countries barely change in the long term.

Do note, this is a fantasy map of Europe. This is entirely fictional and does not have any historic basis from our actual, real history of the world.

For example. Germany ( Germania ) is more west-centered because the various smaller germanic states want their own independence. Caucasian nations, Britanny, etc. don't actually exist in the way we know, and are inhabited by other people/nations.

The most technologically advanced are SPQR ( Senate and People of Rome ), Byzantium and Atlantean Empire. The most populous are Germania, Frankia ( France ), Osmania and Novgorod. The most economically advanced are Anglia, Denmark and Hungary. The rest of the large nations are more or less "balanced" in various ways.

Because it's not really that obvious, here are the names of the elven and dwarven countries:
*Elven- Dacryca, Loria, Aralia, Dipter, Carya, Myrtia, Salix.
*Dwarven- Gaaldur, Gneiss, Tachyl.

Made in GIMP. Paper texture found on Google.

Awesome map! Just a little question: is the Roman Republic expansionist? Maybe they have some colonies in Northern Africa. Would love to see a map of the rest of the world!

Wait a second, what is the year?

GTD-Orion In reply to NathalieRoann [2013-09-14 20:22:49 +0000 UTC]

It's fictional ( as the name implies ), and the 'Medieval Stasis' trope somewhat applies to it. So the year can be anywhere between the 14th and, say, 34th centuries.

I'm writing a story about a fantasy medieval Europe, and I came across this awesome map! I was wondering if I could use this for my story? It's the only one that I could find that would fit it, and I love the textures and font! I'll be checking your page daily for a response .

Oops, sorry about that. I am kind of new to DA, this is the first time I used resources from DA, so I thought it was a stock image. This was the only nice map I could find, that would fit my theme that is why I used it. Hope you don't mind me using this map.

It's alright, since you notified and credited me for it. Would have been good to have been notified before though.

GTD-Orion In reply to HeerSander [2012-02-01 20:40:36 +0000 UTC]

Yep. As well as multiple other territories.

Elves here used to be dominant, pretty much like the Celts were in real life. But then humans pretty much overran the territories, one way or the other.

Intriguing concept. I would have liked it better if the borders were a bit clearer; perhaps throw in a bit of colour as well, but it's still a cool map. Good work!
